merc 20hp model weights?

airbornemike · Nov 24, 2013

Does anyone know were to find the engine weights of the various Merc 20hp models? I'm aware Tohatsu is the same engine, I like the tiller features Merc is offering.

you could prolly call the dealer, but my tohatsu 20hp 4stroke weighs around 140 lbs if i remember right

I think mine is something like 127 lbs.

You would think mercury would have a more comprehensive web site, what a headache! Still have no hard numbers I can compare the competition to.

20hp 4stroke manual is 115lbs
20hp electric is 121lbs

Go to newoutboards.com and then on the left were it says SHOP OTHER OUTBOARDS go to mercury and you get all you need.

That is very inaccurate,they have the 20hp suzuki manual start less weight then the 20hp suzuki electric start,huh.

Go to newoutboards.com and you can find the 20hp nissan,merc,tohatsu,and suzuki weights.Can't get better then that.

scoobeb · Dec 9, 2013

I just bought the 20hp suzuki and man it's light as a feather and way cheaper then the merc,something to look into.Plus the suzuki is (efi)compared to carbed.

The tiller feature is awesome and that's why my first choice was the merc,but after playing around with the suzuki the 2 shallow water features are just as good but you don't get 5 tilt positions with the ratchet system merc offers,they are both great motors though,can't go wrong with either.

The 20hp Suzuki manual start "IS" less weight then the 20hp Suzuki electric start...so what is not accurate?

scoobeb · Dec 10, 2013

Sorry i got it backwards in my words,I meant to say they don't make a manual start 20" shaft,plus it is more weight then the 15"electric,but they don't make a 20"manual start,only electric.

The graph says it's a 20hp manual start,long shaft which they don't make,They only make a 20hp manual start in a short shaft,go to suzuki's website,they only make a 15"shaft in a manual.It's inaccurate.

Plus if they did have a 20"manual start,the graph says it weighs more then a 15"short shaft electric start which wouldn't be true either.

Suzuki does make a 20 hp, manual start, long shaft.... Model DF20AL. I did not know where the OP was located and the graph is international.

scoobeb · Dec 11, 2013

Well i didn't know that,suzuki's website says they don't,maybe it's just not advertised on there.They have a 15"shaft on their website but no 20"as a manual,either does newoutboards.com.I don't understand why they wouldn't advertise it if they sold it,that makes no sense to me,i will just call suzuki tom and see what they say.

You know what i mean,that makes no sense for them to sell it and not advertise it on their site.

Even so a 20"long shaft manual start would not out weigh a electric start 15"shaft as the graph says.

airbornemike · Dec 11, 2013

OP is in Chicago freezing!! I wish Suzuki offered electric tilt on there 15" 20hp.

scoobeb · Dec 12, 2013

I just called and confirmed with suzuki,there is no such thing as a 20"manual start.I think the graph was an error.No big deal but to me that makes no sense to for them to not make a 20"manual as all portables in the 15 to 20hp range have an option of a 15 or 20"manual start,very strange,Suzuki also has a brand new 9.9efi that just came out.

airbornemike · Dec 12, 2013

Hmm? I bet the new efi 25hp is not far behind.
